Of the gross proceeds received from the Initial Public Offering, the exercise of the over-allotment option and a portion of the Private Placement Warrant, an aggregate of $ $176,812,500 was placed in the Trust Account.
Through the date of the IPO transaction costs amounted to $9,985,222 consisting of $3,450,000 of underwriting fees, $6,037,500 of deferred underwriting fees payable (which are held in a trust account with Continental Stock Transfer and Trust Company acting as trustee (the “Trust Account”)), and $497,722 of Initial Public Offering costs.
We cannot assure you that our plans to complete our Initial Business Combination will be successful. If we are unable to complete the initial business combination within 15 months from the date of the Initial Public Offering, we will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than five business days thereafter, redeem 100% of the outstanding public shares and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining holders of ordinary shares and our board of directors, liquidate and dissolve. In the event of liquidation, the holders of the founder shares and Private Warrants will not participate in any redemption distribution with respect to their founder shares or Private Warrants, until all of the claims of any redeeming shareholders and creditors are fully satisfied (and then only from funds held outside the Trust Account).

We incur expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses.
